LOL. Wow. You do? This is news to me. I seem to remember there being things like actual physical fx sends and inserts on mixing boards and line-level mixers. You know, stuff you'd run 1/4" cables from to another box containing dedicated motorola DSP chips for processing audio. Preeeeetty sure they still make all that stuff actually.

I'm not sure why you say that...if I'm running everything from my DAW with pure midi data being output controlling a slew of hardware synths with midi capability and then have all those patched into a physical mixer with rackmount fx and then out to an adat, you actually do completely escape CPU and memory issues.

Yup, it's true. Dr. Luke is producing for Kesha because... well - he's pretty friggin badass and really good at what he does. He's produced a number of stars like her. You need to be similarly amazing at production if you wish to whip out stuff like he does. Good luck. It'll take boatloads of talent and boatloads of work.
You need a stereo file. You're using a (single channel) mono file.

No, in that case you would be infringing on the "composition" as midi is only note data and does not constitute a "recording". Two very different things in the legal world. You still need to have rights to make a saleable recording of someone else's composition however unless the composition is in the public domain.

And thanks! You should come for a visit someday.
You can do quite a bit with room tuning but believe me you'll get amazing results just by being able to run frequency sweeps and actually calculate where your problem areas are and then eq them (especially with very sharp filters like that behringer unit offers). Plus you'll never be able to compensate for areas where your monitors own response are introducing the problem. I want to emphasize that in no way is RTA and corrective eq a "bandaid". It is a very legitmate approach that will get you 90% of the way thousands and thousands of dollars of physical treaments will. For a setup like you currently have I guarantee you'll end up wanting to combine in some RTA system. There's also a program called REW which is really the creme de la creme of RTA software in terms of both freeware and payware:

I would love to visit! haha. That might be a while if you're up in Canada... tempting though.
Let me just also say that Rig, you are a total badass. lol
I would definitely consider investing in a Behringer DEQ2496 and a calibrated measurement mic like the Dayton EMM-6 to start...
You can always upgrade the the mic to say an entry-level earthworks at a later time but that would supply immensely superior results that what you could do without some type of RTA equalization system. You'll want to do the corrective eq on each channel individually and then re-measure in stereo and make further adjustments with the supplied additional 31 band eq to get things totally tuned in. As you mentioned yourself, you'll find a distributed bass system will significantly cut down on the room modes your running into as well as response from changing position of your head slightly.

Well, there's definitely trade-offs but that works both ways... built-in amplifiers also means the potential to do filtering and equalization through DSP which is way more effective. In addition, there are only so many passive monitors out there to begin with. Choices are much more open with a set of actives. If I could get those as a passive version I totally would though.

Yikes. Bad news. Where did you purchase the monitors from? If that doesn't work out you may want to check out the M-Audio DSM3s that audiomidi has on a huge closeout for $600 a pair (they were originally $2k a pair):

This is typically not recommended. The T/S parameters of the speaker are specifically chosen for the box type they are placed in. Using drivers with Q and Vas measurements suited to a ported box will provide poor results (and often a significant deviation in frequency response) if the box is changed to being sealed.
Dang dude - this is really looking legit. Where are you located?

Also, for proper subwoofer application - look into a "distributed bass system":
http://audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.
php?t=291904
I would additionally recommend buying an auralex gramma riser for each sub:
You'll want a minimum of (3) subs for best low-frequency results. Believe me - do this right and you will seriously not believe how good it will sound.
First off, get a proper frequency measurement mic like a Behringer EMC8000 and take frequency sweeps where you'll be sitting to determine what low-frequency modes you need to actually treat. Deal with the biggest offenders with custom-built (has to be done this way really) helmholtz resonators and then tune the rest of any frequency abberations (after setting up all your equipment) with say a Behringer Ultracurve DEQ2496. You'll need foam blocks 6" thick or more to break up and absorb lower frequency standing waves. The listening/monitoring position shouldn't exhibit any symmetry between walls/barriers (turn the desk slightly inward for instance to prevent exacerbation of the "ping-pong" effect of reflections between walls).
